There will be a discharge if:* There is a voltage difference (this can be compared to a pressure difference, in gases), and
* There is a way for the surplus charge to move from one side to the other.
Static Discharge
current <<>> The movement of static electricity into an object called a static discharge.
Electrostatic discharge
The loss of static electricity as a charge moves off an object is known as an electro static discharge.
Lightening.
Static discharge is the spark associated with static electricity that is caused by electrostatic discharge.
Static Discharge
A discharge of static electricity from a huge cloud is called lightning.

Electrostatic discharge
No, but a strong static discharge might burn you.

Static electricity is a build up of electrons that are rubbed off by things rubbing against each other. Static electricity is a problem on dry days with low humidity. Even the wind rubbing on cars can build up static electricity, a comb or balloon rubbed against clean hair builds up static electricity and of course lightening is a discharge of static electricity from the clouds to the Earth.
An atmospheric discharge of static electricity is called lightning.
A static discharge is an accumulation of static electricity that discharges when negative electrons connect with the positive protons.
